  • ty. they ate all the babies on this last spawn and spawn #2 though.

  • hmm...convicts usually dont eat their frys...may i ask how big is the tanks? (in gallon) do you have other fish in there? have anyone been putting stress on the fish like tapping the tank? i am a tropical fish owner in CA and i might know how to prevent convicts to stop eatting thier frys

  • 20 gallon tank, they have it all to themselves. i DID do some cleaning and slight rearanging of rockwork and some of the babies got siphoned out when cleaning the sand (i hsand in there now). but i put all of them back. so yeah, they were stressed.

  • hello there, ty! :)

see all

  • what do you feed your fry

  • Because he probably thinks they messed with the fry so he takes that anger out on him.

  • will the parent convicts try to eat the baby convicts when they start swimming?

  • can i still do my water changes even if they have eggs or fry

  • not all of them my pair ate my fry and now when they breed i put the fry in the breeder trap until they get about 5 times as big as when they were babies

  • are you sure it's not putting it in his/her mouth to protect/move the fry?

    i'm pretty sure convicts move small free-swimming fry back to their "cave" at night to prevent other fish from eating them

  • convicts protect their fry

  • great pair . i have a female pink con and im getting a black male soon

  • hey i wasnt trying to be mean,m look at the ^^ signs..^^
